A/N: First off, I feel like crying my eyes out because I just found out that Nixie and Lyla won't be in season 2 of Mako Mermaids. :'( :'( :'( :'( Sorry to break it to you if you watch Mako Mermaids and didn't already know that. :'( :'( :'( On a lighter note, I'm awesome... Random... But true. DEFINITELY true. ;)

Secondly, I need to like answer some stuff that people have reviewed so... yeah... Here you go people who reviewed...

ByEmiwithlove: Their mums might get their powers back, I haven't decided yet. But if they do, it won't be like a major part because this story is obviously more to do with their kids. But y'know. They might.

davidahare: Same thing as before goes to you, but also, well I don't really go for the whole merman thing so I don't think I'll be doing that. Plus, Will, Lewis and Ash don't play major parts in the story and if I was going to use that idea then I would need focus on them more. And as well as that, even if I did like the idea of mermen, I don't think I'd be able to use that for them because... I mean... They're Will, Lewis and Ash... They just... Can't be mermen... Like... They're just... No... Sorry about that. Good idea, but use it for one of your fanfics or something. However, I do love plot twists, so I'm pretty sure there'll be one or two (or three, four or five) in this fanfiction.

Now, go read this chapter because it's awesome (LIKE ME).

Chapter Fourteen

Mel's POV

"Hi Luke," I welcome, waving as my cute brown haired boyfriend walks over to me.

He smiles. "Hey."

We link arms as we make our way to Rikki's Café. We're going there to buy milkshakes and talk, smile at each other, stare into each other's eyes, and maybe kiss. Others might call it a date, but whatever. As we walk, I smile. We don't even have to talk - it's enough for us to just be in each other's presence. This is the best relationship I could have ever asked for. It really feels like true love, and Luke's only my first boyfriend! I wonder if we'll ever get married or something… We could have children and maybe they would have powers too. We could live in a cottage with roses around the edge, and we could have a treehouse for the kids. It would be awesome… Suddenly, a loud clattering noise interrupts my thoughts. Ugh. I mean, I s'pose they were kind of weird things to be thinking about now, but it's nice to daydream, right? It's calming. Anyhow, now that I've stopped daydreaming, what the hell was that noise?

I look down and find the source of the sound almost straight away. A girl is lying on the floor in front of me and Luke, her brown hair covering her face. She sits up, clutching her ankle, and pushes her hair away to reveal grassy green eyes.

"Ow…" she whimpers.

"Are you okay?" Luke asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine… I think…"

"I'm Melody," I say, helping her up to her feet. "But you can call me Mel. This is Luke."

"Elexis," the girl introduces herself. She looks down at her watch, before saying, "Oh, I've gotta go. I'll see you round though, I guess."

"Bye," I say with a smile, and Luke waves. He's always been the shy type. Something I rather like in a guy…

I plunge into the crystal-like sea and race through the water on my way to the moon pool. I smile as the bubbles fly around me. I love being so fast that I can make that happen. So fast that I literally feel like I'm a part of the water. It's the most amazing experience. As I arrive at the moon pool, I see two other mermaids in the water. It must be two out of Lolly, Becca and Emily.

"Hey g-" I begin as I surface, but stop short when I see that the two people staring at me aren't my friends…

"Um… I didn't know there were other mermaids around here…" I say. I'm trying to sound casual, but probably failing.

"We don't live here," one of them explains. I look at her to realise that she looks familiar.

"Wait… Elexis?" I ask. This is unbelievable. She looks at me questioningly, but then recognition shows on her face.

"Oh, it's Mel, right? This is my friend Lydia," she adds when I nod, pointing to the other mermaid. She has wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Well… this is weird…" I say. "Y'know, I think I have to… go… do something… So… see ya round… I guess…"

"Bye," Lydia says as I turn and swim away.

"There are other mermaids?" Becca asks sceptically.

"Wow. I thought we were the only ones," Emily says.

"I know," I reply. "I couldn't believe it either. But they said they're not from here. I reckon they're just visiting someone or something."

"I think I already saw one of them," Lolly chips in. Emily, Becca and I turn to her, silently willing her to go on. "Well, I was swimming near the moon pool, and this other mermaid suddenly swam past me. I don't think she saw me though. She had short brown hair. Sound familiar?"

"Yeah, I think that's Elexis." I nod.

"So I wonder, like… who the hell they are," Becca says.

"I know. It's kind of weird that these random mermaids turned up, right? I mean, considering there are already mermaids here," Lolly says.

"Well actually, my mum just randomly turned up here without knowing there were other mermaids here. It's kind of like that. Maybe we should ask our parents a little more about this?" Emily suggests. "Y'know, about the whole mermaid thing in general, and exactly what happened with them when they were mermaids."

"Okay. When?" I ask.

Emily shrugs."Now?"

"Alright. Let's go."

Lydia's POV

"That was random… Who exactly was that?" I ask.

"Some girl I bumped into at the café earlier. She said her name was Melody."

I laugh. "Melody? That kind of fits. Remember that film we watched?"

Elexis rolls her eyes. "Oh, please. The Little Mermaid is just a fairy tale."

"Right, 'cause we're not fairy tales…"

"No. We're not. I know we're mermaids, but we used to be human. And people think Carys isn't real but she certainly is. She's the one who made us like this."

I hold up my hands in surrender. I hate it when Elexis snaps like that. "Truce?"

"Let's just go. I hate legs. They make me fall over," she mutters before ducking underwater and swimming away, me following closely behind.

"You're right about walking. It's awful. My legs hurt," I complain.

"Stop whining!" Elexis shouts.

"Grumpy…"

"I heard that," she snaps.

I roll my eyes. "You're no fun."

This time, Elexis chooses to ignore my comment, and we continue to walk to wherever it is that we're going. That reminds me…

"Elexis… Where are we going?" I ask.

"I told you already - you'll see when we get there."

"Are we at least nearly there?"

"Yes - no - I don't know."

I stop and grab Elexis's arm to stop her too. She pulls her arm out of my grip and turns to face me. "What?"

"You don't know where we're going either, do you?"

"Well… to be honest… no. Not really. We're kind of… lost…"

I groan. "Can we just go home. The beach is only over there"-I point to the golden sand and crystal ocean only a minute walk away from Elexis and me-"so it won't take long to get there. I hate walking!"

"Fine. You can go. But I want to try and find this place."

"What place? God, Elexis, you drive me crazy sometimes! We need to get back to the sea. We promised Penny and Ali we wouldn't stay here for long!"

"Penny's a bitch and Ali's annoying. If you want to leave so bad, then leave. I'll catch up with you."

"Fine! See how far you get without me!"

"I'll be much better off without you! You're the one trying to drag me back!"

"Elexis… Face it. We're never going to find Carys. We've been looking for years. Please just leave with me."

"I don't care how long we've been looking. I'll find her if it's the last thing I do." With that, Elexis sprints off, leaving me behind.

A/N: Ooh, some new mermaids have arrived then. So like, the question is (questions are, whatever), who are Elexis, Lydia, Diana and Ali? And is this Penny the demented fake blonde or a different Penny? Leave the answers that you think in the reviews for a shout out because I need some more reviews, k? ;)
